Title: Folk Songs of New York City, Vol. 1
Artist: June Lazare
Label: Folkways Records
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS
UPC: 093070527621
Genre: Country, Folk
Release Date: 2012-05-30
Number of Discs: 1
Released in 1966, this collection of twenty evocative folk songs illuminates a perhaps-unrecognizable New York City. In contrast to the nineteenth century world of gang violence, melodrama, corruption, and river pirates they chronicle, these songs are presented with simplicity and charm. For example, listen to Lazare tell the tale of the great police fight of 1857 while providing basic guitar accompaniment. Compiled and performed by music teacher and folk enthusiast June Lazare, Folk Songs of New York City, Vol. 1 was born of research for a program presented at the New York Folklore Society. This research informs the liner notes which, combined with Lazare's gentle brogue, resurrects the enigmatic characters and defining events of New York City folklore.
